I know this may sound stupid, but can anyone be so kind and explain how the map generation tool (which can be found on this forum) works? I have a map ready to go but I'm stuck with this complicated-looking generator.

I know about that map editor, but it's just that the fact you needed to use the generator to make your map playable on the server dumb-founded me. I wonder if Mr.Left accepts requests for doing the "put map into cycle" process.

with map editor you'll get the list of objects, nothing more.
the map itself is a sa:mp gamemode, creating it requires some programming skills. to make it easier, RDL made that web generator where you can just write map parameters you want and get the complete gamemode script required for build

the main parts of the map are objects and car spawn positions.
also you need to setup some miscellaneous things like temporary spawn position, spaw view, fall-off threshold...

there are many info in the map creation sub-forum. what exactly you don't understand?

... you just fill it with the data you need, then press generate. web server fills the template with lines you put, and produces the gamemode you can compile and put on your local sa:mp server for testing.

if there is something unknown to you, ask what's exactly you don't understand.
